Lady Changning

Chapter 79

Palace of the Three Princes
Everything is going according to the plan of the third prince Huangfu Shenqian, how can someone like him who has been waiting for the opportunity waste it?
The crown prince is moderate, and he has never thought of a solution to this disaster. He joined the ministers just to win the emperor's favor this time.

"What does the Shangshu Mansion say?" The third prince asked Yan Xiufeng who was beside him.

"Jiang Shangshu is very sensible. Originally, he wanted to rely on his daughter Jiang Miaoer to compete for the crown princess, but the queen mother wanted to make Xi Hanxue the crown princess. He knew that he was weak, so he hoped that the third prince would love him..." Yan Xiufeng said later Don't say it anymore, hold it in your throat.

The three princes all looked like they were enjoying the spring breeze, as cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter, especially with their cold eyes, even Yan Xiufeng felt that the whole body was cold, and he didn't want to say anything more.

But the meaning is actually very clear, even if the third prince doesn't listen, he can hear Jiang Shangshu's meaning.

"Do you know what Xi Changning's plan is?" I didn't want to ask at first, but I still asked, and I kept it on my mind for more than a year.

Yan Xiufeng knew that the third prince was special to Xi Changning, but he avoided Xi Changning like a snake and scorpion. It had been almost two years, and that incident was really a shame to him.

"Xi Changning and the crown prince are close, but other than that, they are very peaceful." Yan Xiufeng said reluctantly.

Safe?Xi Changning can only be regarded as seemingly peaceful, she probably has everything planned in her heart, and when you realize it, she might just be an indifferent spectator.

"You must be careful to find out what the prince and her are doing, and report to me if you have anything." Still feeling a little uneasy, the third prince instructed carefully.

After more than a year of precipitation, the scene of Xi Changning running away from the third prince seemed like yesterday. He couldn't forget it, so he decided to do his best to pull her back to his side.Because at that time no one could say no to him or take away anything that belonged to him.

"You go and tell Jiang Shangshu that I am very optimistic about his Miss Jiang."

But before that comes the sacrifice of all that can be sacrificed.

The prince followed Xi Changning's wishes, changed his moderate attitude in the court hall, and said to the emperor:

"There is a noble daughter in Prime Minister Xi's family, who said that she has a way to persuade the purple mansion in Hucheng."

The prince didn't say who it was until he clicked. If he said everything, everyone would know that he and Xi Changning were close. Maybe some people would say that he was partial to nonsense.It is also because of the proximity, presumably anyone with some brains should know who it is.

"The crown prince has said it before. How can the youngest daughter in the family have such great abilities?" Xi Jian knew who he was talking about when he heard the crown prince's words, Xi Changning.

"You don't know until you do it. Father, are you right?" The prince looked at the emperor. The situation outside is very urgent now, and he hoped that the emperor would listen to him.

"Prime Minister, the prince won't talk nonsense, you can just go back and ask. I asked you to clear Hucheng Zifu before, but you didn't succeed. If your daughter can clear it, I will also reward you."

The emperor has said everything right and irony, what else can Xi Jian say?I can only accept it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."

"Father, I also heard some very interesting news. It is said that there are no refugees in our capital, but the refugees have all fled to Hucheng. This is really a strange phenomenon."

The prince's words frightened the officials who were still thinking about the noble lady of the Prime Minister's mansion, and their souls were lost by seven points. There are no refugees in the capital. Some people understand very well, and they are also very guilty at the moment.

The emperor frowned and understood the reason.

Tayue Pavilion

Xi Changning seemed to know that Xi Jian was coming to find her, so he stayed in Tayue Pavilion all day without going anywhere.

When Xi Jian appeared, she didn't show any surprise.

"Changning has met my father." Xi Jian sat on the seat without saying a word, and looked at Xi Changning carefully. Now there is probably no one in the capital who does not know that there is a fourth lady in Xi's mansion named Xi Changning, who is as famous as Xi Hanxue.

It's just that Xi Changning's thoughts, as a father, he can't even guess.Now I want to think about it, but I find it difficult to speak, not to mention that speaking is a request. For a 14-year-old girl, is it too polite?

Xi Changning was under Xi Jian's observation, no matter what, he had never seen him pay attention to himself in his previous life, but now he has to think carefully.

"Changning, I don't know what you said to the prince. Since you have the ability, you'd better show it, otherwise the whole Xiangfu will be implicated because of you." Xi Jian deliberately threw the responsibility on Xi Changning, hoping that Xi Chang Ning retreated despite the difficulty, don't think about getting ahead, but he is not the master of the Xiangfu, he is here to settle everything.

Xi Changning also knew that if the emperor hadn't asked, how could a face-saving person like Xi Jian ask a teenager like her for help, but that's what Xi Changning wanted.

Let Xi Jian know the importance of her, Xi Changning, and don't think she is really so easy to bully.

"To be honest, I'm not afraid of my father's laughter. It's not difficult to ask Hucheng Zifu for help. It's just that Changning is under a lot of pressure when my father talks like this, so I should ask my father to find someone else." Xi Changning is not afraid of Xi Jian, she just wants Xi Jian bowed because of her.

Xi Jian's sharp eyes seemed to pierce Xi Changning. Compared with Xi Jian's anger, Xi Changning was much calmer.

If he is not willing to let him go, she will not do things for a person who is unwilling.What's more, now that Hucheng has taken in most of the refugees driven out of the capital, if the responsibility is investigated, Xi Jian will not be able to delay it.

"I don't know what to do." Xi Jian shook his sleeves and left.

Seeing Xi Jian leaving in anger, He Lianbao and Mingyu, who had been hiding outside the house, rushed into the house.

"You didn't wait for Master Xiang to ask you for help, why did you lose your popularity?" He Lianbao asked.

"Don't worry. My father will still come back to me."

"What are you looking for? If you don't solve it, Hucheng will become a refugee camp again." He Lianbao said angrily.

Although the people in Hucheng did not complain, after all, they were refugees themselves before, so those homeless refugees came to ask for help, and no one refused, which led to more and more refugees now.

Xi Changning was also a little worried that Hu Cheng was going to be saturated, but she couldn't let this step go, and the current Xi Jian wouldn't feel any better.

Hefu Palace

Xi Hanxue was a little uneasy, the queen mother suddenly sent someone to send her into the palace, she didn't seem to have made any mistakes in her memory, and she always obeyed the queen mother's work.

Everyone in the palace knows what kind of person the queen mother is. A woman who enjoys extreme power, even the emperor will ask the queen mother for some matters, so Xi Hanxue is too tender to face the queen mother, and she can't hide her thoughts.

"Hanxue sees the Empress Dowager." Xi Hanxue saluted, her knees almost touching the ground.

The Empress Dowager had two temples with phoenix hairpins, narrow eyes, and the eunuchs and maids around her were beating and massaging her, making her look very uncomfortable.

After a while, the queen mother opened her eyes and looked at Xi Hanxue.When she met this girl for the first time, she knew that this girl was a good seed, but she couldn't hide things in her heart. Although she was thoughtful, she was not careful enough. No wonder she was not Xi Changning's opponent.

Xi Changning is on the contrary compared to Xi Hanxue, his whole body is full of two contradictory temperaments, he is unwilling to say what is in his heart and mind, even what he says is for you to listen to and then passes away, a pair of big innocent eyes It is also a good means of camouflage.

"Get up." The empress dowager's lazy voice carried a little majesty.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, I don't know why the Empress Dowager called Hanxue here?" Xi Hanxue couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it.

"I shouldn't have talked to you about the affairs of the court, but now it is said that there is a noble lady from the prime minister's mansion who can save refugees, so it is not easy. Do you understand?"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand away from the maids who were serving her, leaving only a few confidants and Xi Hanxue in the palace.

The noble daughter of the prime minister?Is the queen mother hinting at her?The daughter's family didn't understand the things in the court, but the queen mother said suddenly that Xi Hanxue was not prepared at all.

"Please tell the queen mother clearly."

"You girl sometimes lacks one thing, a heart. Don't always be self-righteous. Xi Changning dares to think and do. She is much better than you in this regard. So she is probably the one who made the trouble in the court. Do you understand now?"

The queen mother took the tea from the eunuch, took a sip, moistened her throat and put it back.

Xi Hanxue didn't expect that now Xi Changning would start to calculate how to snatch the princess with her even if she didn't go out.If Xi Changning really complied with the words of the noble lady of the prime minister's mansion, she might have an advantage in choosing a concubine, not to mention that the crown prince also intentionally favored him. Fortunately, the crown prince is not the only one who has the final say on the marriage.

"I hope the queen mother will show Hanxue a clear path." Now the eldest lady is a little uneasy emotionally and mentally, and it is more laborious to rely on the queen mother.

"Hanxue, I have been teaching you for more than a year, how could I see you being replaced by someone else. What I want is for you to be the noble daughter of the prime minister's mansion, and marry into the imperial palace gracefully."

The queen mother got up and walked to Xi Hanxue's side, and patted Xi Hanxue's shoulder with her well-maintained hands. It is a great honor for others to have the queen mother's favor, but sometimes it may not be so easy.

"Hanxue, you can just obey my palace, but if you don't have this palace, I'm afraid you can only look at Xi Changning's prosperity and wealth." The queen mother reminded her all the time that without her own help, she, Xi Hanxue, would be nothing.

If she dares to be ungrateful in the future, she will be given how to get up.

Xi Hanxue's hands on the sleeves were already sweating and clenched tightly. She didn't do enough, otherwise she would be as indifferent and indifferent as Xi Changning one day, so that people couldn't see her thoughts.

"I will explain to your father that you can just show up when the time comes. As for how to make Nahucheng submit, how dare a mere barbarian say no to our land? I have the freedom to do it."

Although she had planned it long ago, she didn't know why the Queen Mother felt a slight thump in her heart.

Xi Hanxue is not as optimistic as the queen mother, and she can't tell the queen mother, she has fought against Xi Changning many times, how could Xi Changning waste this opportunity for nothing?Now I must be thinking of countermeasures, how to deal with them.

Although Xi Hanxue no longer had the fear in her heart earlier, Xi Changning was someone who had to be guarded against.The Queen Mother may have overlooked that she must not make the mistakes of the past.
